The Strongest Hokage Chapter 365: Konoha’s Crisis

Chapter 365: Konoha’s Crisis

Before the Edo Tensei was fully discovered, and as his test subjects began to die off, Orochimaru was caught red-handed by Sarutobi. Thus, Orochimaru ran away from Konoha, and became an S-Class Rogue Ninja!
This is was a real scourge, that made it even worse for Konoha. Orochimaru’s defection has cause Konoha’s strength to fall even more.
These odds changing were certainly enjoyed by the other Major Villages. Konoha was stronger than them, but now it doesn’t seem that better.
All of this news naturally reached Naito’s ears.
Naito wasn’t particularly concerned about Orochimaru, but the fact that Minato has become the Fourth Hokage was something that Naito cares about.
Now that his soul was about to reach transformation of the Sixth Paths level. Naito started to feel some special forces in the Ninjas Realm, such as… Indra and Ashura’s Chakra!
Indra and Ashura’s Chakra, including the sixth path’s chakra, exist in the world, but ordinary people cannot perceive it.
However, the successors of Indra and Ashura are not related by blood. In the original, the first successors were Madara and Hashirama, then Naruto and Sasuke.
However, Naruto wasn’t related to Hashirama nor the Senju, but if you go back, maybe the Senju’s bloodlines got mixed with the Uzumaki, and they became distant relatives.
Uchiha Madara was a special case. After the transplanted Hashirama’s cells, he had the standards of getting Asura’s powers. After he merged both Asura and Indra’s Chakra, he awakened the Sixth Paths’ Chakra and opened the Rinnegan.
Strictly speaking, after he merged both Asura and Indra’s Chakra, and awakened the Sixth Paths powers, he himself was no longer Indra’s successor.
However, just be sensing the Sixth Paths chakra, it means that the former is not dead. Although some of the Sixth Paths’ Chakra was taken by Madara, it was only a part, and it doesn’t replace his existence.
Therefore, reaching that level doesn’t actually mean that you’ve obtained the Sixth Path’s real power.
However, these things are not perceived by ordinary people.
In fact, even the successors themselves don’t know about this, they will be far more powerful than anyone, people like Hashirama and Madara were strong enough to suppress the existence of the entire Shinobi World on their own.
It’s nearly impossible to actually perceive Indra and Asura’s Chakra or actually come in contact with the Sixth Path’s will.
However, Naito could somehow sense a little bit of Indra and Asura’s Chakra with his near-transformed soul and his Ultra Perceive technique.
These two Chakras are hovering in the Shinobi World, and will soon be reborn.
“Indra and Asura’s Chakra…”
Naito stood in front of the window, looking at the cloudy sky.
“The reincarnation of these two will finally come, so what will happen, will they still be reborn, in Naruto and Sasuke? Or will it change because of me?”
In fact, at the level that Naito has reached, he no longer cares much about Indra and Asura’s Chakra. The only thing that he cares about is the Sixth Paths’ true powers!
But with his current strength, the only thing that he could sense was a little bit of Indra and Asura’s Chakra, that was his limit!
Naito has even believed, that the Sixth Paths might be watching him now, but he could no feel his existence.
This feeling was awful, but it also made Naito more eager to complete the soul transformation, and open the Seventh Gate of the Hachimon Tonkou!
……
Konoha.
The earth trembled violently.
The Five-Tailed and the Four-Tailed beasts roared in the sky, raging in the Village, and the Third Hokage, Sarutobi, was leading Konoha’s Shinobis to suppress them.
“Damn! Why does this scene feel so familiar….”
An Anbu Ninja looked terrified at the two Bijuu in front of him. Suddenly, the two Jinchuriki that they were looking for in the past few weeks appeared in the Village.
Moreover, they appeared in the form of the actual Bijuu.
“Don’t be distracted! Blast them out of the Village!”
The last time Sarutobi felt like that was in the Kyuubi’s runaway, this time, the number of tails was the same, but it was divided into two beasts, one with four tails, and the other with five.
Although the power of the Yonbi and the Gobi are far less than the Kyuubi, they were two beasts after all, and it was tough to suppress two Bijuu at the same time.
“It would be nice if Sakumo was still here with us, coupled with Jiraiya, it would be possible to stop these two Bijuu in short time… It would be nice if Orochimaru was here too…”
Sarutobi felt a bit of bitter in his heart. However, he suppressed those feeling deep down into his heart, then rushed forward with his staff in his hand.
A large group of Anbu Ninjas followed.
In addition, there was a new generation of Shinobis participating in the battle, Hatake Kakashi, Maito Gai, Kurenai, and others.
For a time, the entire Village seemed to be falling apart. The momentum was immense, and the Village was taking enormous damage.
However, inside this chaos, a small battle was taking place inside the Village, but the danger’s degree was no less than fighting against the Yonbi and the Gobi!
“Damn… Who the hell are you?!”
Minato, who was holding a baby in his arms, clenched his teeth, looking at an unknown person in front of him. The cold stare in his eyes seemed like if it was gonna freeze the river on the side.
In front of Minato, a person was standing, with his face covered, showing only one pair of his eyes, and it was… A Mongekyou Sharingan!
“It seems like no one can prevent it…”
Looking at the baby in Minato’s hands, the man said in a deep voice, while the look on his face seemed extremely deep.
Minato looked at him coldly, and said: “Prevent? What do you want to prevent?!”
“Well, naturally, it’s…”
The masked man said half of the sentence, then he suddenly rushed directly toward Minato, holding a Kunai in his hand, then stabbed the baby directly in Minato’s arms!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Minato disappeared out of thin air, then flickered above him, avoiding his sharp blade.
